| It's much worse than you think, Chris. Take a look at that Pew study cited in the article. Forget Turkey, 53% of Canadians rated us a rude, and Americans find Americans rude, too (35%). http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.php?ReportID=247 And we're sooo loveable! Three more years of Bush policies and I'll be looking for another place to live...if somebody will have me! |

| Did anyone see the Daily Show with John Stewart last night? They showed parts from the movie plus reaction on some US news talk shows (O'Reilly). What I hadn't heard until last night is that Gary Busey plays a Jewish doctor that harvests body parts from the executed Iraqis! :roflmao: I wonder what affect this movie will have on Turkish tourism and diplomatic relations... |
